BHPC Book Group

Meets Monthly in the Church Library

We welcome all those who like to read and discuss books. We read an eclectic mix of both fiction and nonfiction as recommended by the Book Group participants. We like books that illustrate the lives of people that are different from our own, showcase a current topic, illustrate great writing, or inform us about outlook. Check the BHX, church bulletins and weekly emails for dates, times, and book selections. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings, whether you have read the book or not. We are also interested in hearing your suggestions of books to read. Please contact Mary Hickey or Marilyn Allen for further information, or contact us below.

The Intercongregational Partnership Committee (IPC)

IPC is comprised of members of the Bradley Hills and Bethesda Jewish Congregation communities. The purpose is to design and create opportunities for mutual education, worship, mission, and advocacy opportunities. If you are part of an interfaith couple or wish to build on the inter-faith sharing strength of our two congregations, join us! For questions, contact the current coordinator at ICP below.

Parenting this age group has its own special challenges and joys. We have both stories and triumphs to share and sometimes need the encouragement and good ideas of others. If interested, contact us below.
